Im not a fan of Mumm-Ra but if thats what they want to call themselves, then thats fine by me. The NME's James Jam however, thinks its "a bloody disgrace." 'cos "pop music is supposed to be important and stand for something".
Whats he on about this time?

with friends in high places, thats why they were rammed down our throats.
I saw them live twice and all i can remember was 3 lyoung ladies (and a small man on drums) trying to be cute and funny (and failing) in between some pretty lack-lustre grunge-pop. Nothing more than wannabe entertainment.
Trust me folks, the endless myth-making about this band is bullshit.

...because what with the White Stripes 7 inch this week and the Muse CD next, I'm buying it for two weeks again. This week's I already have and I'm not exactly looking forward to reading it, but now I have it there's no reason for me not to look inside. A quick scan of it earlier appalled me... there's pretty much nothing now that isn't terrible, is there? The News pages used to at least be objective but even they're full of crap now.

Someone should let Peter Robinson write the whole thing as he seems to be the one decent thing left in there. But maybe when I read it properly later there will be a moment of revelation and I'll take it back in part.

where to start and where to begin..? mumm-ra is bad because, er, what he said. but HADOUKEN!?!? and Arctic Monkeys apparently have hidden depths in a name that even the bands don't know about. Silly silly Jamm man...
